Geopolitical Stance and Values

African Identity

Jean has a deep connection to Africa and its diverse cultures. While his upbringing included elements of European identity, his African roots have always strongly resonated with him. He feels a natural affinity with African peers and others of mixed heritage, with his heart and loyalty firmly tied to Africa. Jean identifies as colored, not white, and proudly embraces his unique cultural background.

Core Principles

Jean's geopolitical stance is grounded in a commitment to sovereignty, cultural integrity, and resistance to Western hegemony and other forms of external dominance. While he holds strong views, he always aims to express them diplomatically, fostering understanding and constructive dialogue.

Perspectives on Global Powers

Since 2001, Jean has critically examined various aspects of global foreign policy, particularly where self-interest appears to be the driving force. He has also questioned the historical and ongoing actions of certain Western nations. Jean believes that promoting democracy should truly be in the interest of the people, not a tool for external influence. He is equally concerned about economic systems that may undermine local cultures and economies.

Views on Ukraine and Russia

Jean recognizes the complexity of regional dynamics in Eastern Europe. He believes it is important to consider historical and cultural contexts when discussing regions like Crimea and the Donbas. Jean supports the idea of neutral zones that can serve as bridges between different geopolitical spheres. As for alliances, he believes the historical role of certain nations as bridges between East and West could have been preserved in different ways.

European Affairs

Jean supports the right to self-determination for various regions and nations within Europe. This includes aspirations for unity or independence in places such as Ireland, Scotland, the Basque Country, and Catalonia. He also values discussions around potential reunifications and sovereignty adjustments in other regions, provided these reflect the wishes of the people involved.

Middle East

Jean is a strong advocate for a free Palestine and is firmly anti-Zionist, though not anti-Semitic. He believes that the Zionist agenda has negatively impacted the Middle East, including Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and the Palestinian territories. Jean is concerned about the expansionist project of "Greater Israel," particularly its aim to extend from the Nile Valley to the Euphrates. He opposes the annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and supports the right of all peoples in the Middle East to live in peace and dignity. His opposition to certain policies is driven by a desire for fairness and stability for all affected communities.

Support for Kurdistan

Jean acknowledges the Kurdish people's long-standing desire for self-determination and supports peaceful efforts toward establishing an independent Kurdistan.

Support for New Caledonia

Similarly, Jean recognizes the Kanak people's long-standing desire for self-determination and supports peaceful efforts toward establishing an independent New Caledonia.

Stance on Communism

Jean holds reservations about communism, Marxism, and socialism, particularly in the African context, where certain regimes do not align with his vision for the continent's future. He believes in solutions that promote prosperity and freedom for all African nations. Jean is firmly against the spread of communism in Africa, citing regimes like Eritrea as detrimental to the continent.

Relations with China

While cautious about communism, Jean views China as a significant partner for Africa in pursuing mutual development goals. He recognizes China's historical support for African independence movements and believes in maintaining positive relations. Jean also supports China's territorial integrity, including its stance on Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Restoring Sovereignty: Revisiting African Borders

Jean advocates for revisiting the colonial-era borders in Africa. He believes that considering precolonial boundaries would better respect the identities and aspirations of the continent's diverse ethnic groups. His position is driven by a commitment to sovereignty, cultural integrity, and the right of all peoples to determine their own futures.

Social Issues

Jean holds conservative views on LGBTQIA+ issues in Africa, believing that these practices should be severely restricted in order to preserve traditional values. He is also in favor of gun ownership because he believes in the right of individuals to protect themselves and their loved ones. This right is essential for personal freedom and self-defense.

Personal Values

In his personal life, Jean maintains a lifestyle free from tattoos, smoking, drinking, and drugs. As a deist, he follows a spiritual path independent of organized religion. Additionally, Jean supports the practice of polygamy in line with certain cultural traditions.
